Malware variants identification and classification is the one of the most important research problem in digital forensics. Malware binaries are set of instructions which may affect your system without your authority. Many researchers worked in this area mainly relied on specific API calls, sequences of bytes, statistic and dynamic analysis is used for detection and classification of malware. The proposed method malware is represented as 2Dimensional gray scale image is observed malware images of all the available variants and their texture similarity, which motivate to classify malware based on texture features. The texture plays a very significant role in identify and classify malware. The objective of this paper is to identify a behavior of malicious data based on global features using Gabor wavelet transform and GIST. The experiment done on Mahenhur dataset which includes 3131 binaries samples comprising 24 unique malware families. The algorithm has been implemented using feed forward Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) it gives their overview uniqueness. The experimental results are promising to effectively detecting and classifying malware with good accuracy 96.35 %.","PeriodicalId":336783,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Trends in Automation, Communications and Computing Technology (I-TACT-15)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131388256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate rainfall prediction can be efficiently put to use by the agro based economy countries in terms of long term prediction. In this research work, a rainfall prediction model has been developed which uses K-Means clustering and artificial neural networks to fulfill the purpose. Artificial Neural Networks has been one of the major soft computing techniques used for the rainfall prediction since they are considered as one of the best function approximators. However, artificial neural networks have two issues which limit its applications, the computation complexity of the network and the learning time. In order to deal with these two issues, K-means clustering has been used in this work. Firstly, the data samples in this work are clustered using K means which cluster the samples according to their features. The number of clusters K has been computed using the Silhouette method. The clustered data samples are then used for training, validation and testing of different radial basis function neural networks. The results obtained from this method were then compared to the results obtained by only using a radial basis function neural network. For the comparison purpose, statistical criteria like Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Nash-Sutcliffe model efficient coefficient (E) and Correlation Coefficient (R) were used. It was observed that the results obtained by this method (R= 0.94587, E=0.90148) were better than only using RBFNN (R= 0. 88015, E=0. 82159).","PeriodicalId":336783,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Trends in Automation, Communications and Computing Technology (I-TACT-15)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114414206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TMCC comparators are designed to optimize the input offset voltages by systematically and consistently varying the transistor sizes of the differential transistor pair, nothing like the usual differential voltage comparators designed to reduce the input-offset voltage error due to the mismatches in a differential transistor pair. The TMCC comparators are used to compare very small voltages, to eliminate total resistor ladder network, and to improve linearity in an ADC. Because of complete elimination of resistor ladder it can reduce area and consume less power. The power consumption of proposed ADC is 4.43mW whereas operating input frequency of 2MHz and a operating voltage of 1.8 Volt.","PeriodicalId":336783,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Trends in Automation, Communications and Computing Technology (I-TACT-15)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129005472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the gapless metal oxide surge arresters a leakage current flows through the arrester at working voltages. The leakage current increases as the temperature of the arrester block increases. In the present study the arrester is subjected to a sinusoidal voltage of variable frequency ranging from 10Hz to 2MHz. The leakage current, phase angle between the leakage current and applied voltage are measured. The measurements indicate that the magnitude of leakage current increases and the phase angle decreases from about 90°leading to zero as the frequency is increased. The experiments were repeated for different block temperatures. The frequency response of the arrester blocks is obtained from this which could be useful as diagnostic parameter and also for modeling the arrester behavior at high frequencies.","PeriodicalId":336783,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Trends in Automation, Communications and Computing Technology (I-TACT-15)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127033113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experimental results of various image enhancement techniques such as histogram equalization, Multi Scale Retinex and Contrast limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization techniques were being compared and analysed. Image enhancements techniques were applied for both on color image and gray scale image. The experiment results suggests that CLAHE provides better contrast improvement of WCE images, while Multi Scale Retinex provides better human visualization.

Pick and place an object is the predominant job of the robotic manipulators in the industry. The challenging task in designing such manipulators is to develop a universal gripping mechanism, which should possess the ability to pick unfamiliar objects irrespective of its shape within the given size range. The most commonly used technique to accomplish such challenge is multi-fingered approach, but it increases the complexities on both hardware and software for smaller objects. The gripping mechanism discussed in this paper uses the concept of granular jamming. The gripper consists of single mass of granules which conforms to the shape of the target objects when pressed onto it. On evacuating the air, granules contracts and hardens quickly to hold the object. This approach of gripping mechanism does not require any sensory feedback to pick an object.","PeriodicalId":336783,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Trends in Automation, Communications and Computing Technology (I-TACT-15)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134643396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
